“We have also notified and are coordinating with law enforcement authorities.” “We are working with leading data security firms to assist in out investigation,” the company wrote to its users. All users will be required to change their passwords, and are encouraged to do so quickly. In the emails and in-app messages sent to users yesterday, the company recommended users change their passwords for any other accounts or services that may be the same or similar to that used for the MyFitnessPal app, and to remain vigilant for any suspicious activity. The data breach does not appear to include government-issued identifiers such as Social Security numbers and driver’s license numbers, which the app does not collect, or any payment data, as these are handled separately. Under Armour said in a statement that it first learned of the breach and began its investigation on March 25. “Once we became aware, we quickly took steps to determine the nature and scope of the issue.” “We understand that you value your privacy and we take the protection of your information seriously,” Under Armour wrote in a message sent to MyFitnessPal users yesterday. The company’s investigation into the breach is ongoing, according to a statement, but so far indicates that the usernames, email addresses, and passwords of approximately 150 million users have been compromised. Under Armour has notified users of its MyFitnessPal food and nutrition app of a large-scale user data breach that occurred in late February.
